Unexpected Love....

All Four Love

Week 2

I  racked my brain this week for the challenge

Yet right in front of my eyes

Was my Unexpected Love...

My little Liam

I have to give you some background to explain why.

(Well, just why he was unexpected)

My husband and I have been married for 10 years this year

For the first seven years we were married

I never got pregnant

We weren't necessarily trying and I was not in any hurry

I always thought if it is meant to happen it will

When I approached 30 my clock wasn't necessarily ticking

I just thought maybe we can't have kids

Good friends of ours and a family member had all had struggles with this

Doctors, costly treatments and heartache

I again took the attitude that if it is meant to happen it will

WELL

In 2007 I somehow injured my back to the point where I couldn't walk

Two days later when I could tolerate standing upright

My husband took me to the Med Express

It was Mothers Day

The doctor came in and listened to my complaints,

took some blood and said he was going to print my paperwork

When he came back in he handed me my prescriptions

Then he said he hoped I felt better and wished me a Happy Mothers Day

"Oh" I said, "We don't have any children"

He stopped for a minute looked at us both

and said "Well yes you do. You're pregnant!"

I gasped in shock. I felt a huge rush of adrenaline run through me.

For some reason I started to laugh as I looked at my husband

He had the same dumbfounded expression I know I did

"She just came in for back pain!"

We all laughed for a minute.

I remember the drive home we were elated and still in shock.

Here he is today

The Unexpected Love of my life

He has taught us so much

Slow down, take time,be patient,play like a kid, forgive and forget, giggle,

Life is best when kept simple...

and EAT CAKE!
